# Breakwater Digital

> LA-based digital consultancy. We help existing businesses grow (awareness, leads, revenue, AI efficiency) and help subject matter experts, creators, and operators build new platforms (iOS apps, web apps, SaaS).

Breakwater Digital is an independent consultancy based in Redondo Beach, California, run by a senior product operator with 11+ years across fintech, insurance, food & beverage, fashion, music, advertising, healthcare, retail, SaaS, and real estate. The practice serves clients across Greater Los Angeles, the South Bay, Orange County, and remote clients nationwide.

The consultancy operates on a two-track model:

- **Grow Track**: For existing business owners, marketing leads, and operators who need a metric moved. Engagements run weeks to months and are sold on measurable ROI.
- **Build Track**: For subject matter experts, creators with communities, and capital operators who need to turn what they know into a real product. Engagements run months to years as fractional CPO / head of product.
